Why Chimney Sweeping Is Important
A neglected chimney is one of the leading causes of house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Whether you use your fireplace often or just occasionally, creosote—a highly flammable residue—accumulates inside the chimney walls with every burn. Leaves, animal nests, and moisture can also clog the flue, restricting proper airflow and increasing the risk of backdrafts.
Routine chimney sweeping ensures:
Safer burning conditions
Improved airflow and ventilation
Prevention of dangerous chimney fires
Protection against structural chimney damage
A longer lifespan for your fireplace and chimney system
With regular cleaning, you’ll also enjoy a cleaner, more efficient fire that provides consistent warmth during cold New England winters.
Our Chimney Sweep Process
At ASAP Home Solutions Inc, we take a meticulous and professional approach to every chimney cleaning. Our certified technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and industry-approved methods to ensure a complete, mess-free service.
1. Chimney Inspection
Before starting any work, we conduct a full visual inspection of your chimney to check for blockages, damage, or signs of creosote buildup. If requested, we can provide camera inspections for more detailed internal views.
2. Sweeping & Debris Removal
Using professional-grade chimney brushes and powerful vacuums, we remove soot, ash, and creosote from the flue, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. Our equipment is designed to contain all dust and debris—keeping your home spotless.
3. Safety Check
After cleaning, we double-check the system to ensure proper airflow and verify the structural condition of your chimney and cap. If we spot any cracks, leaks, or issues, we’ll explain your options and recommend affordable repairs.
4. Optional Chimney Cap & Liner Installation
To further protect your chimney, we offer chimney cap installations to keep out rain, animals, and debris—and stainless steel liner installations to enhance system safety and longevity.
